Electric Shower Installation FAQs

Electric shower installation in Cork typically costs between €200 and €450 for the electrical work, not including the shower unit itself. The price depends on the length of the cable run from the consumer unit and whether any bonding or consumer unit work is needed. We give you a fixed price after a free survey.
Yes — an electric shower must have its own dedicated radial circuit run from the consumer unit. It cannot be connected to an existing ring final circuit. The circuit must be sized correctly for the shower’s kW rating — typically a 10.5 kW shower needs a 10mm² cable on a 45A breaker. Getting this wrong is a safety risk.
Yes, as long as the installation is carried out to current Irish wiring regulations. The shower unit must be positioned outside Zone 0 and 1 (the immediate shower area), and a ceiling-mounted pull cord isolator must be fitted. All metallic pipework in the bathroom must be correctly bonded.
A pull cord isolator is a ceiling-mounted switch that allows the shower circuit to be isolated from outside the wet zone. It is a requirement under Irish wiring regulations for electric shower circuits in bathrooms. We fit pull cord isolators as standard on every shower installation.
Sometimes — if the existing circuit is correctly sized for the new shower’s kW rating and in good condition, it may be reusable. However, many older shower circuits in Cork homes are undersized. We’ll check the existing circuit during the survey and advise honestly on whether it can be reused or needs replacing.
Yes. A shower that repeatedly trips the RCD usually indicates a fault with the shower unit itself, a wiring fault, or a shower that is drawing more current than the circuit is rated for. We carry out fault-finding on shower circuits across Cork. We’ll diagnose the issue and give you a clear picture of what’s needed.
The plumber connects the water supply and fits the shower unit. The electrician handles all the wiring — the dedicated circuit, pull cord isolator, RCD protection, bonding, and connection to the shower unit. Both trades are needed. We can coordinate with your plumber if needed to make sure both sides are done at the right time.
Not always. If your consumer unit has a spare way and adequate capacity for the new circuit, no upgrade is needed. If the board is full, old, or lacks RCD protection, an upgrade may be required. We check your consumer unit as part of the free survey and advise you before anything is agreed.
